Nate Smith Will Open Alls Well in Williamsburg

Eater finds out former Spotted Pig chef de cuisine Nate Smith, most recently of Dean Street, will head his own restaurant in Williamsburg. The former Raymund’s Place at 124 Bedford Avenue is set to reopen in September as the 40-seat Alls Well. Smith, who hinted to us that he was “looking at Williamsburg” back in February after he was fired from Dean Street over a “tense talk” regarding the restaurant’s loud television and distracting jukebox, tells the blog that he and his partners will be breaking down whole pigs in the back, and serving “bar-centric, seasonal American fare” in the front.
